41. ⢠Please record the following in your journal.
What are the GPS
coordinates for the site?
Does the river appear to be
a Headwater, Downriver,
Floodplain, Mouth/Delta
What physical features of
the river can you identify?
Is the water moving?
How long does it take an
object to travel 10 meters.
Distance / Time = Speed
What is the color of the
River? Is it full of sediment?
Use a Seechi Disk to
determine turbidity if
possible.
What does the bottom of
the river look like?
What is the water
temperature? Degrees
Celsius.
Is the water navigable? With
a boat that has a motor,
canoe
Can you swim in it?
Is the water fishable and
drinkable?
45. ⢠Chemical Testing
â Safety is very important.
â This Requires Goggles and Gloves.
â Partner up with a person at your table.
â Please choose a chemical from the list on the
upcoming slide.
â Read all the directions now so you are
prepared when we go to the river.
